January 16, 2007: BrainTech, LLC is looking for an independent movie theater
or theater chain that is willing to share (and make public) their daily ticket sales
figures in exchange for services.

BrainTech, LLC is looking for an independent movie theater or theater chain that
is willing to share (and make public) their daily ticket sales figures for a single
location (or city) during the first half of '06. In return, we are offering a free
(public) analysis of how weather, general market trend, and holidays might have
influenced ticket sales during the first half of '06. In addition, we are offering
3 (private) future trend analyses of recent sales figures, upon request, at any
time during 2007, along with (private) analysis for potential trend change. Our
purpose in extending this offer is to collect an additional sample data set and
test our modeling algorithms in a scenario where poor weather may occasionally lead
to increased ticket sales. If you are interested in this offer (valued at approximately
$300; or would like to propose an alternative arrangement), please
contact us at your earliest convenience. Thank you. [Hide

BrainTech, LLC helps companies make informed business decisions by
identifying and understanding what factors influence sales,

In the graph to the right, there is a possible relationship
between high daily temperatures (in red) and sales (blue). What proportion of variability
in sales might be due to warmer weather, and what proportion might be due to a time-related
(or seasonal) trend?

In the graph to the right, daily wind gust speeds are indicated
in red. Is there a relationship between wind gust speed and sales? Does the relationship
between wind speed and sales change over time? These are a few of the questions
you can try your hand at answering using our online
tools, available free of charge.

comparison of actual versus estimated sales, used to assess accuracy of a predictive
model.
